I second the PONS dictionary. I discovered it a few days ago, and they seem to focus on the Brazilian part of the language, which I like. Linguee is good, too - and I actually have used that one more - but it is not always clear if the Portguese word they show you is the Portugal version or the Brazil version. I looked up "everyday (life)" and it gave me quotidiano, but in Brazil they say cotidiano.
As for Android, I like the QuickDic application. The Portuguese-English dictionary not only lists verbs in the infinitive, but you can search conjugated verbs, too. For example, if you put in assistem, it will tell you that it is the 3rd person plural form of assistir - but you will then have to look up assistir if you don't know the meaning. It's good for free, though. Edited by kujichagulia on 20 November 2013 at 3:32am 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Why not the online monolingual Dicionário da Língua Portuguese Online - Priberam ?

I would advise against the PONS one. I understand the focus on the Brazilian side, but the complete absence of words (simple, of daily use) of Portuguese is not acceptable to me. The same goes for WordReference too, I'm afraid.
I use Priberam. You can choose PT or BR, and also pre- or post- Orthographical Agreement (even highlighting changes). But, hey: I'm Portuguese. :P Linguee seems quite good. Many great examples, too. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

I understand your point that they tend to use qu- in Portugal where they use c- in Brazil. But that can't always be the case, so it helps to have a note in the dictionary. Wow, a warning against PONS and WordReference. 1 person has voted this message useful |
